MOOD Brain Chemical Test

A Better Mood in the Modern World

If mood swings, irritability, sadness, anxiousness, or emotional highs and lows have you in a funk, read on.

If the usual upbeat, calm, or happy you has seemingly gone missing, and you desperately want your old self back, listen up.

If your life has become so busy that you constantly feel on-edge, burst into tears at the silliest things, and can’t seem to feel good about your life, or, if the slightest problem sets you off, and you just don’t feel like laughing or smiling, pay attention.

This program is meant to snap you out of your bad mood funk, pronto!

The world today is complicated. Our lives are burdened. Our habits are often toxic to our brain, body, and hormones. We are all unique, and our moods are our own personal indicators of how we are dealing with the world.

You may be wound up so tightly that you feel life is slipping you by and you are missing out on all of the enjoyment. Ask yourself, “Am I enjoying life as much as I would like to, or the way I used to enjoy it?”

What if someone told you that you have the ability to control how you feel? That at this very moment your mood could change? What if someone told you that you could do away with the emotional upheaval you are experiencing by not enjoying life, feeling grumpy, and being on-edge much of the time? The good news is—that with the right tools, a bit of commitment, and a solid game plan— you can turn your grumpiness into smiles!

If you’ve been unhappy for a while, or even just a day and you find yourself heading further down the bad mood continuum, I urge you to take the steps in this program and get your life back, now! But, if you struggle with long standing depression, take medication for depression, or sense that your bad mood is more than just a passing phase, please seek proper advice, evaluation, and potential treatment. Still, let this book be your guide to optimizing wellness. No one is impervious to a bad mood on occasion, and we all could use a bit of a wake-up call now and then to remind us to take better care of ourselves and get our mood back on track.

So, let’s get started. It’s easy! Anyone—men, women, and teenagers—can follow these steps to an improved mood. First, I’ll show you how and why your mood can become sour. Then, I’ll give you the tools to get it back in line quickly. And finally, I’ll give you a 10-day mood makeover plan. The only side effects are weight loss, better sleep, and a wonderful sense of wellbeing. Now that is a good plan!
